Game day--BU takes on Maine

With the out-of-conference schedule now complete, BU faces a critical weekend with a pair of home games against Maine, which has been one of the surprise teams of the season. The Black Bears finished 8th in Hockey East last season, but currently are tied with BC for second place and they're six points ahead of the tied-for-fifth-placeTerriers. The weekend's results will go a long way in determining if BU's hopes for achieving home ice for the conference playoffs will be realized.

Tonight's game is a 7:30 p.m. start that airs on NESN. Tomorrow game, a 7:00 p.m. start will air on BU All-Access.
